BBC News presenter Clive Myrie has spoken about why he and his wife of 25 years, Catherine, decided against having children, saying it would have been 'selfish' to bring them into the world
The 59 year old, known for presenting Mastermind tied the knot with upholsterer and furniture restorer Catherine after falling in love at first sight during a book launch on Swiss cheese back in 1992. Although they've been happily married for over two decades, the couple never welcomed children into their lives.
He continued: "We felt it would be selfish on children to drag them around the world. We've come from big families. I'm from a family of seven , Catherine's from a family of five kids. In their younger days, Clive disclosed that he and his wife did try for a baby, however, "nothing seemed to be happening". Eventually, they concluded parenthood wasn't for them and hold 'no regrets' about it as reported by the Daily Record.
